As we complete our time in Europe, test your knowledge of its mountains.
We have just completed our second European trek. This four-day hike took us through a small section of the Julian Alps, in the country of Slovenia. We wanted to hike here to take advantage of the hut-to-hut system, which is a type of trekking found in Europe.
Located in Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan is one of the most remote countries on the planet. The Kyrgyz people have historically been nomadic herders. Our 12-day journey provided a glimpse into this nomadic way of life as we traveled by road and foot through this mountainous country.
We have just returned from our longest, hardest and most rewarding trek of our journey in the Mustang region of Nepal. While we anticipated the difficult physical effort associated with the trek we were not prepared for the other challenges that came our way during this time.
